Let me tell you about the theory of my weird homelab imagination. I want to run a rack server in an undisclosed location, with a dynamic IP address. I want it to be flexible so it can be easily moved and resistant to deplatforming. It will host public websites. It consists of two essential parts: "keystone" and "decoy" "keystone" is the entrypoint of my rack - one big http server (running caddy, not nginx), that routes traffic to hostnames within my internal network. "decoy" is a cloud VPS, running nginx, which streams requests to the keystone over WireGuard. DNS is all pointed at "decoy". From the outside, it looks like the cloud VPS is hosting the sites. In reality I pay them very little money to just transfer data, and I can easily switch to a different provider. As a result, I get a static IP and a layer of protection/obscurity from the VPS, but the rack will continue to "just work" even if the decoy is changed or even removed. Only DNS entries would need to be updated. This is not exactly groundbreaking. I know people have used VPNs to route traffic for decades. The main thing that's new is just my weird terminology for it. To connect the "keystone" and the "decoy" together... I call this "trepanning". I want to make this easily reproducible so others can copy my setup. Later I will release code and a guide. View quoted note →

The dungeon boss is a very strong enemy the player must defeat. The dungeon boss is also a face carved into the keystone providing support to the building without which the entire structure would crumble. There is "boss" as in master, and "boss" as in "emboss". These terms are totally unrelated.

I think we should create a reason for people to send Bitcoin directly on Nostr instead of Lightning.

These people are literally crazy. When you post on the Fediverse, your server sends your post to other servers. That is how the Fediverse works. It's the very nature of it. They are posting on the Fediverse. Then their server is sending their posts to my bridge. My bridge acts just like a regular Fediverse server, supporting deletion requests etc. Do they want to sue the entire Fediverse for "unauthorized" copying? Literally every server on Mastodon is doing this. I am not doing anything abnormal from other servers. They want me to hang because they are using a technology that is working exactly the way it was designed to work.

For some reason jb55 isn't allowed on Bluesky. I'm making his posts available in Bluesky format on eclipse.pub but for some reason they're not showing up on bsky.network, and it's impossible to figure out why. Even though other accounts are working. It took my own account 6 days before it magically appeared on Bluesky. View quoted note →

Here is why Republicans are better for the economy: People THINK Republicans are better for the economy, so when a Republican is President they ACT like the economy is better by spending money. And because they FEEL the economy is better, it inspires a sense of optimism that MAKES the economy better.
